January 2018

Nike shocked the world back in 2016 when they unveiled the world’s first retail available self-lacing sneaker, the Hyperadapt 1.0. Originally dropped in three exclusive colorways, the sneaker was made available to a few lucky Nike fans across the world at a price tag of $720. The iconic sneakers powered by an electronic underfoot-lacing mechanism, are set to drop again on February 2nd, 2018 in a patterned “Wolf Grey” upper with a white midsole and black Swoosh. The tongue features the acronym “EARL,” which stands for Electro Adaptive Reactive Lacing.

The Hyperadapt 1.0 is still the most technologically advanced shoe in Nike’s arsenal, and much like its cousin, the Nike Air Mag from the movie Back to the Future, the Hyper Adapt 1.0 is one of the most sought-after sneakers for collectors and is almost as hard to find on the aftermarket as it is to cop at retail.

Set to be extremely limited, keep an eye on the Nike SNKRS app for the drop come February 2, and make sure your MSB U.S. address is registered on your account so you can ship the futuristic sneakers straight to your Philippine doorstep.

Following a series of teasers from CEO Elon Musk, The Boring Company recently released its long-awaited flamethrower. The outrageous item comes after the infrastructure and tunnel construction company met Musk’s goal of selling 50,000 branded hats.

Available for pre-order now, the flamethrower looks to be modeled after the CSI S.T.A.R. XR-5 Airsoft Rifle and features a top mounted gas tank for a sleek and futuristic design. Additionally, The Boring Company wants fans to use its flamethrowers safely which is why they are also selling a branded fire extinguisher that comes with a “cool sticker.”

Priced at $500 USD, The Boring Company Flamethrower is available for pre-order now via boringcompany.com. While an accompanying Boring Company Fire Extinguisher is also available on the site for $30 USD.

Unfortunately, My Shopping Box CANNOT ship the flamethrower to your doorstep, so please don’t send any to your suites (and guns and drugs). See? We love you THAT much.

Daniel Arsham gives us an exclusive first look at the final cast plaster sculpture in his renowned Future Relic series. Sized at 26.25” x 3.4” x 9.33,” the ninth installment draws inspiration from a vintage Casio Casiotone MT-500 keyboard which made its debut back in the 1980s. From the rubber pads to the mini-keys, Arsham intricately mimics the details of the instrument to craft the disintegrating art object.

To commemorate the end of the series, Daniel Arsham will release a limited quantity of complete sets of the Future Relic objects numbered 01-09. The final sculpture, limited to 500 units, alongside the full series, will aptly launch on Daniel Arsham’s official website this January 26 at 12 p.m. EST. In case you missed it, the artist recently launched a trailer for his Future Relic film starring Mahershala Ali, which is set to release in Summer 2089.

Apple‘s HomePod smart speaker is now available to preorder through Apple Store. At $349 USD, the speaker is slated to start on February 9. HomePod, which comes in black or white, is powered by Apple’s A8 chip, which first appeared in the iPhone 6, and features built-in Siri, six microphones, HomeKit support, and sound optimization.

Although the speaker’s launch was delayed, HomePod will not have features like AirPlay 2. Apple says that those features are coming later this year in a free software update. The HomePod is available for preorder now in the US and UK, so both your My Shopping Box addresses should do the trick.

Fresh off the heels of Solution, arguably the biggest skincare launch of 2018, Glossier shows no signs of stopping. The brand just revealed via Instagram that it will drop a new makeup product — and debuted it on Beyoncé.

Glossier announced that Beyoncé rocked the yet-to-be-revealed product somewhere in her Grammys beauty look. While all that is still speculation, you can score the rest of Queen B’s arsenal as her longtime makeup artist, Sir John, applied the brand’s Skin Tint ($26), Cloud Paint ($18), and Boy Brow ($16) to her face for the Grammy’s. Of course, you can ship all of that straight to your doorstep in the Philippines via My Shopping Box.

Last July, Medicom Toy announced its collaboration with The Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat – an offering comprised of three unique [email protected] collectible figures. Today, we finally get word of their release as they were previously slated for a December drop. Available in 100%, 400% and 1000% sizes, each piece features the same painting, however with slightly different layouts.

The Jean-Michel Basquiat [email protected] are available now at select Medicom Toy stockists.

Nike’s latest cushioning technology, Nike React, is the first foam cushioning of its kind to be implemented in a running shoe. The new innovation is described by Nike as 5 percent lighter and 11 percent softer than its predecessor, with 10 percent greater energy return than the Lunar Epic 2, which featured LunarLon cushioning.

Draymond Green of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors was also chosen to test the new React cushioning on-court, via a Nike React Hyperdunk 2017 Flyknit PE under Virgil Abloh’s Hyperdunk from “The Ten” series.

With a reported 17,000 miles worth of testing under its belt, in short, the Nike React technology is the lightest, softest, smoothest and most resilient foam Nike has ever delivered.

Industry competitor Adidas has gained traction on Nike in recent years due to the success of their Boost technology, which made models like the Ultra Boost and Yeezy Boost iconic in terms of comfort, but the new React cushioning should take back the market share from the Herzogenaurach-based German brand.

For those looking to cop their hands on a pair, the new Nike Epic React Flyknit will be available from February 22 on Nike.com for £130 (approx. $182).

Although the latest rumors out of the industry are saying that the next season of Rick & Morty won’t be out until 2019, the show’s absence hasn’t stopped people from putting out some creative merch from the popular series. Check them out below:

We here at My Shopping Box love using our own service because of how convenient and reliable it is. One of our in-house fashionistas recently went on an online shopping spree and stumbled upon some interesting intel that could save you a lot on shipping fees, so we wanted to share it with you!

Our MSB marketing exec was buying an Off-White shirt from Luisa Via Roma’s U.S. website and saw his total go to around 330 USD. When he switched over to the Italian site, the total was around 250 EUR, which when converted costs about 306 USD. That’s over a thousand pesos worth of savings, just by using his MSB Europe address!

The same exec was buying a pair of Yeezy Military Boots from Farfetch.com. According to the website, the boots were located in Rive Neuve Hommes in France. Naturally, he tried to ship it to the Europe address, but noticed that the total shipping cost was at around 30 USD. As an experiment, he entered the MSB USA address, and for some reason, saw the shipping cost go down to 10 USD!

We’re not exactly sure as to how each of these companies price their own shipping fees, but it’s always great to know that you have two options, wherever you may be purchasing the item from. So remember, just because it’s in Europe doesn’t mean it’s always cheaper to ship to MSB Europe, and vice versa. You have two MSB addresses, so maximize the benefits of that. As always, happy shopping!
